No Jacket Hard Cover. Good Shape) Nothing Could be more dissimliar than the two sides of Boston's Beacon Hill. (Today this is not true, the tenement houses are no w part of the Beacon Hill Elite, yet this story gives you a perspective on how Boston was and the differences with class and the immigrant population. Also, you could compare this story to one side of Boston now and say the other side of Mass Ave or say where the speaker of Beacon hill is from Mattapan. I won't say they are rough. I will say they are different than Mount Vernon Street, perhaps thi s book will give a modern day perspective on the Boston today through its historical fiction.) On the famous Beacon Hill, on the Slope toward the Common from Mount Vernon toward Cambridge Street, ding y tenements precariously occupied by peopl forever alien, are interspersed with delicatessen and other small shops, obscure offices, drab bureaus, and unpretentious eating places. And nowhere is this contrast more marked than on Joy Street, where Roger Field and Emily Thayer chose one of the fine old houses for their bridal home-unaware that near enough to be classsed as neighbors, dwelt an Italia n family by the the name of de lucca, which, through two of its members-the magnetic Pellegrino and the mysterious Simonetta-was to change the course of their destiny. Nevertheless, from the very begi nning, Joy Street was a symbol to the appealing, high minded and hopeful young couple. Both were "to the manner born." But Emily had wealth as well as position behind her and Roger had been forced, al l his life, to struggle for a financial fooothold in the sphere where he belonged by right of inheritance. For a long time, he hesitated to ask emily to marry her because her family, a conservative fa mily, didn't like that Roger was going to get a job with a firm they apporved of. Instead, Roger he chosen Harvard Law School, a bunch of dreamers in her families' eyes. But on top of that, Harvard me n weren't supposed to associate with worthless Italians, The Castle Irish, and the presumptuous jews. This was the way Emily's family classified her finance's associates. Has a Illustration on the Ins ide pages of Louisberg Square on Beacon Hill.
